We went to the service as St. Jean de Malte this morning. It was a beautiful service with two infant baptisms and other people doing their first communion. The baptisms were different from the Methodist tradition in that the babies were presented naked and immersed in a big copper caldron of water three times and then dressed with little white shirt and either water or oil put on their heads. The choral music was great and the pipe organ was wonderful. We walked around Aix after church, talked to an Australian for a while and then went back to the house where we are staying, and I took a photo of the view from our walk to and from Aix. After we got home, I helped our hostess build a chicken coop, which looks more like a chalet than what we’ve used for chicken coops in the past. Then we went to cooking class in the evening, learned to make quiche, ate it and got home late again. We have to get up early to go to Marseille.
Off Center & Not Even 
Those do look like bells. Super cool.
I have never heard of water bells–wonderful–and the chicken coop is delightful–pretty special for chickns.
Great water bells!!!
Cool bells – never seen that before.
I had to stand there for a long time to get them that well formed.
I’m sorry, Timothy, but I thought I was following you. I’ve corrected that. These water bells- as well as the rest of this set of photos- are gorgeous. The fountains of the Bellagio in Las Vegas can’t compete.
Thanks, Emilio. You need to set you sights on France, you would love it. WP probably unfollowed me from your blog. There are several blogs I follow that just don’t stick, and I’ve noticed a few other bloggers who repeatedly follow my blog, so I’m getting knocked off their list somehow. It seems to be a weird quirk in WP.
